If you are addicted to Lush bath bombs, why not save some money and learn how to make bath bombs at home? Most of these recipes make multiple bath bombs, so keep some for yourself and give some to your girlfriends! Who wouldn't love a little fizzy bomb that you can drop in your bath tub to make bubbles, soothe your skin and make you smell good? Lucky for you, Lush isn't the only place to get bath bombs - several of my favorite bloggers have great tutorials for how to make bath bombs that will have you crafting your very own bath fizzies in no time!

Learn how to make bath bombs using simple ingredients found in most kitchens combined with essential oils to add a soothing or cheering effect. My favorite essential oils are from Rocky Mountain Oils - so skip the overpriced oils from multi-level marketers and get high quality, reasonably priced oils from them. In addition to the essential oils you want to use to scent your bombs, stock up on some of these bath bomb essentials:
